News to know

Not long after potential presidential candidate Donald Trump said President Barack Obama hadn’t proved he was born in the U.S., Trump released a birth certificate to prove he was – but it wasn’t an official one, as several media outlets uncovered. A Trump aide responded by calling the incident an “oversight” and said Trump would release his official birth certificate later.
